I did go ahead and purchase the product. It worked pretty well, I had to modify the output a little. When exporting the data using this tool, it added ALTER TABLE lines that changed the DATETIME fields to DATE fields. I guess it saw that the time for all the dates was 0:00 and thought this information was not necessary. I did try the MySQL Migration Toolkit. Some of the definitions it generated were incorrect. One thing I remember for sure is that it was turning my TEXT(16) fields (which are pretty long) into VARCHAR(16), which is pretty short. But I understand it is still Alpha software.
